Industry uses PA12 GF 20 or 30, PA66 GF 50, PPA... So I'm wondering if you have experience printing those materials and what the results are? Is silicone also printable and have you tried it yourself?
Industry uses PA12 GF 20 or 30, PA66 GF 50, PPA... So I'm wondering if you have experience printing those materials and what the results are? Is silicone also printable and have you tried it yourself?
We use PA12 CX. We use materials every day and have:
- PLA for the first prototypes, and the rest for functional prototypes and small series
- ABS+
- PC
- PC+ABS and in the flame retardant version
- HIPS ...

Regarding the ovality and tolerances of the diameter of the wire (filament), I would ask you to check what are the deviation values from the nominal 2.85mm, without jeopardizing the operation of the printer?
Regarding the ovality and tolerances of the diameter of the wire (filament), I would ask you to check what are the deviation values from the nominal 2.85mm, without jeopardizing the operation of the printer?
Ultimaker is an open filament. Which means you can use filament from any manufacturer.
For good and reliable operation of the machine, you need the following characteristics of the filament
Diameter 2.85mm
Allowed maximum tolerance...

What are 3D scanners?
3D scanners are devices that outline the geometry of physical objects through thousands or millions of measurements.
There are many devices that could be called 3D scanners. Any device that measures the physical world using a laser or... -
What is Polylactide (PLA)?
What is Polylactide (PLA)?
Polylactide, ecological material
Polylactide is a healthy organic plastic. It does not crumble, allows painting and finishing (sanding, milling, polishing, etc.). This material withstands temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius without deformation. It has a reputation as an environmentally... -
What is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)?
What is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)?
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene ( ABS ) is an extremely strong and flexible plastic. It is suitable for additional processes (grinding, milling, polishing, etc.) without damaging the model itself.
It can be painted, and it withstands... -
